The Honest Courtesan

The area between the bathroom and Chekhov’s cottage is going to be a vestibule; we’re going to put coat hooks, a boot cleaner, etc in there, near the north door (which will soon lead into the paddock once we finish shifting the fence).  So I’ve installed this lattice; I didn’t want a solid wall, just a visual separation between that area and the greater atrium.  There’s another reason I put it here specifically:  the corner of the cottage roof is only 73″ above the floor, and while that’s above the heads of everyone who lives here, it is not above the heads of everyone who might visit.  So, a nice solid post prevents anyone from walking into that corner and getting a nasty bruise or gash in the face, and the lattice makes it much harder for anyone to collide with the post.
